Owner Manual

With the appropriate care, your upholstered living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture can provide

many years of splendid use. By carefully following the upholstery maintenance, cleaning, and stain removal

information provided below, you can greatly extend the lasting beauty of your home living room, dining room,

and bedroom furniture.

GENERAL UPHOLSTERY CARE GUIDELINES

Follow the simple guidelines below to keep all your upholstered living room, dining room, and bedroom

furniture looking like new.

• To avoid fading, keep upholstered home furniture away from direct sunlight.

• Vacuum upholstered furniture as often as possible. Even if your home furniture has seen little use,

the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles can wear the fibers of your upholstery fabric. For high-

use furniture, it's a good idea to frequently beat the cushions and then vacuum and rotate them.

• Damp-dust arms and headrest areas with a cleaning solution to prevent body oil accumulation on

the upholstery fabric (be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendation as to the type of

upholstery cleaning solution to use; see item #2 under Upholstery First Aid).

• Avoid placing newspapers directly on home furniture upholstery fabric, since ink will accumulate

and is difficult to remove.

• Never cover your upholstered home furniture with dark-colored blankets, sheets, etc., because the

dyes can rub off onto fabric when dry or bleed when wet.

• Avoid the use of dyes, paints, inks, nail polishes, and Mercurochrome around your upholstery

fabric, since these substances alter color and will stain.

• Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing, even though they have zippers.

• Periodic professional cleaning will keep soil accumulation from marring the beauty of the upholstery

of your home living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture.

UPHOLSTERY FIRST AID

You've just spilled a glass of wine on your living room sofa—what do you do now? It's important to act

promptly but not to panic. Follow these guidelines to control a spill and prevent a stain.

1. Act quickly before a spill spreads or dries.

For liquid spills:

Blot lightly with a dry paper towel to start. Increase pressure and use a fresh paper towel until no

more liquid is absorbed. DO NOT RUB! If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.

For solid or semi-solid spills (such as foods): Gently lift the substance from the upholstery with a spoon or dull knife, scraping carefully toward the center of the spill. Treat any wet residue as a liquid spill. If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below. For dry spills (such as ashes or dry cosmetics): Adding any liquid to a normally dry substance, such as ashes, may cause a permanent stain.
